Isn't It Pretty To Think So?

A Late Fragment

"And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so?"/
"I did"/
"And what did you want?"/
"To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth."

America and its guns

In the wake of the tragedy today in Connecticut, I came across this article in the Boston Globe, which provides the best analysis I have read on the relationship U.S. citizens have with their guns.

"So societies are defined not so much by how people live but rather by
how they are willing to die. A key thing that defines us — that sets us
apart from the rest of the world — is our willingness to die by
gunfire."

After reading the piece, I looked to see who wrote it, and I smiled to see it was my old college friend, Farah Stockman. Thanks Farah for an elegant article.
